As a follow-up to Warbirdsim’s first Little Friends product, Little Friends II provides much of the same features, including a fully modeled left gun-bay in complete authentic and very detailed form, removable exhaust shrouds, 75-gallon drop tanks that can be added/removed and released, removable exhaust shrouds, and a working automatic supercharger with engine damage effects (Acceleration only). A new feature included in Little Friends II, is a simulated collimated gun sight reticle, in conjunction with the new N-9 reflector gun sight, as installed on all early-model P-51D’s. This reticle also features unique materials that allow it to look as if it is really projected with light. Also featured within this product, is a “filleted P-51D-5-NA”, as all P-51D-5-NA’s were ordered to have a factory-produced dorsal fin fillet installed in the field, in August of 1944, thus all P-51D-5-NA’s still in operation after that point, were to have the fillets fitted. While most of the aircraft featured in this product are shown as they were before this time, one example does have this treatment, and you can literally feel the difference between flying an example with the dorsal fin fillet and those without.

North American's P-51D Mustang is brought to life in part 3 of our series of this classic aircraft for FSX. 'Little Friends' was the colloquial and affectionate label for the Escort Fighters as given by the Allied Bomber Pilots in World War II as they embarked on daylight raids to their targets, escorted by mainly US 8th Army Air Force Fighters of many types. The most commonly associated for this task is the P-51 Mustang. Because of its long range capabilities, large fuel tanks, and external fuel capacity. The P-51D was able to escort bombers deep into Germany. In this the most detailed of our part series of the P-51D Mustang, the only thing that is missing is the smell! Click on the gallery images to view the aircraft in various configurations of drop tanks, with the exposed Gunbay and in flight. Never before has the P-51D been modelled in such detail and accuracy.

Also Featured is a working 2 Stage Supercharger. Please note that careful use of the power is needed; keep an eye on that manifold pressure and RPM, as the engine will quite literally blow up if due care and attention is not applied.

North American's P-51D Mustang has again been brought to life in part 2 of our series of this classic aircraft and unique series of sets for FSX.
In the second of our part series, a diverse collection of aeroplanes from across the world lovingly recreated and very accurately portrayed examples of their full size counterparts.
Part 2 Restored aircraft features a working set of rear cockpit controls in P-51D ‘Daddy’s Girl’, a Rocket laden example in FF-704, 3 types of propellers and a whole host of other details, which make the Warbirdsim Mustangs a Must have.
Look at the Technical Section for specific version details and on Gallery Images to see the incredible new models. Warbirdsim's aim from our 1st launch has been to produce the most accurately shaped, textured, sounding and performing aircraft for FS and with these restored examples looking as they do today, with modern Features, avionics, removable gun sights, different propeller configurations and in some cases, even working, rear cockpit controls!
So accurate is our cockpit that a contact at the Chanute Air Museum said P-51 restorers should use our cockpit to work from for restorations.
P-51D - 'Cadillac of the Skies' Part 1
The P-51D Cadillac of the Skies Series of Sets features many Mustang types never before modeled in Flight Simulator X. The NACA version was used for high-speed flight testing of various aerofoil types and features, quite surprisingly, a Mach Meter! This version of the P-51 is probably the only type that can lay claim to this fitting. As can be seen in the image, the two-seat configuration of many modern P-51Ds has also been modeled in exceptionally fine detail (the front seat can be tilted forward to ease access for the excited passenger)!
Below the wings a bevy of rocket pylons can be seen (in this case without fire-enabled rockets but we hope to feature firing rockets in later production models).

LtCol McComas' F-6C FS2004 Fighter Leader II
We receive many messages of good will from customers, but a recent message made us very proud of what we have achieved with our recent Fighter Leader II release.
Robert Bourlier's Uncle was the man responsible for the famous striking 'Black Lightning' design that adorned the 118th TRS aircraft in China.
Here is his message and we hope to include many more exciting images from his collection.
"I commend you on a very fine reproduction of LtCol McComas' F-6C in which he was so successful in China. My uncle, LtCol Phil Dickey, as a Lieutenant in China with the squadron, was the man who created the "Black Lightning" design and personally painted McComas' airplane. I hope that many of your customers purchase this item.
Sincerely,
Robert Bourlier"
Lt. Edward O. McComas Pictured in front of his P-51C 'Miss Revenge'
Commanding officer of the 118th TRS/23rd Fighter Group who achieved 14 kills in only ten weeks and was the only "ace in a day" in the 14th Air Force.

WARNING ... PURESOUND
The Warbirdsim Packard Merlin V-1650. Recorded to an extremely high standard from various positions, heights and angles around a P-51D. The Merlin sounds are as close as you will get to hearing your very own engine crackling away 10 ft in front of you. 2 flights were made in Hangar 11's P-51D Jumpin'Jacques. After its engine change we were allowed to record the sound off the Merlin at close quarters at high RPM settings to acheive the best results.
